The policies below have all been edited to show the current services we provide. Many of our services have been put on hold as we have had to adjust to meet the most pressing needs in our community in a way that helps to stop the spread of COVID-19. We hope to add back former services in the months to come. In the meantime, all of our services must first be requested digitally using the links below.
Crisis Food PAntryCrosslines serves an average of 220 families each month through the Emergency Food Pantry. The pantry is typically a Client Choice Pantry set up like a grocery store in which clients are empowered to choose the foods to best fit their family's needs. However, during the COVID-19 crisis we are going to be distributing food in prepackaged pantry boxes. You will need to schedule your pantry pickup 24 hours in advance of pickup using the link above. The Pantry provides a wide variety of foods in order to help fulfill client nutritional needs and keep families strong. The pantry is stocked with items purchased from Ozark's Food Harvest, donated items, and produce from the Crosslines garden and greenhouse. It is an empowering service for families in crisis.
